Smart energy management When you say home storage for solar panels, you also mean smart energy management. Essential for a solar panel system with batteries is the energy meter with any necessary current coils. Your inverter needs to know how much current is going in which direction, so that it can determine where the generated solar power should go. To the battery, or to the meter cupboard for own consumption or return? With the right monitoring tools, the generation, consumption and return are visible in clear graphs. In addition, there are devices that help to optimize direct own consumption. For example, there is a smart socket that switches on when power threatens to flow back into the grid. Make the most efficient use of the available solar power!
